It seems to me that the only way to add or remove users, or to change permissions, is to use directly modify the users table with phpMyAdmin, or something like it, or the MySQL command line.

I’m okay with that, but my client is not. I think most users would like some way to make such changes within the application.

I’m sure there is no shortage of possible enhancements that could be made. Just my $0.02 in case you needed one more recommendation.

Actually most of the Dataface applications that I have deployed enable administrators to add/edit users right within the application. And I generally allow users to change their info such as passwords and profile descriptions directly.

The users table is a table like any other. You just need to make this table available and with appropriate permissions.

Dataface helps you out by providing a “My Profile” link in the upper right when logged in so users can access their user record, and edit it if they have permissions to do so.

Thanks, I didn’t notice the profile link.
